Dear Manish Baba,
The vehicles are divided into two categories: passenger vehicles and cargo vehicles. Either type of vehicle needs registration in the RTO office. The elevators are no different from the vehicles.
While the vehicles are registered in the RTO office, the elevators are registered in the office of Deputy Chief Electrical Inspectorate. Therefore, please make an enquiry in this office in your city.
Thanks,

Dear Colleague,
As far as the Passenger Lifts are concerned, it has to be provided with Registration and a License by the Electrical Inspectorate, as rightly guided by our colleague. You may check with your Head of Electrical and then meet the Electrical Inspectorate.
In case of only material lifting, and at no instance should persons be using it, then the Machinery Layout of the Factory Approval has to be obtained from the Directorate of Industrial Safety and Health as per the Factories Rules, showing the Machinery Layout including the Lifts. You may consult the Assistant Director or Deputy Director of Industrial Safety and Health or the Deputy Chief Inspector of Factories, as the case may be, who has jurisdiction for your factory.

No license is required for operating a dumbwaiter, car lift, or so-called cargo lift if no passenger travels along with the goods or car. Otherwise, it falls into the category of a passenger lift.
Passenger lifts are governed by the Lift Rules of Bombay and require a license every six months, although typically the license is obtained only once a year.
